Sustainability statement
Nature has no reset button
- We strive for a toxics-free environment -
Children are most vulnerable to toxic chemicals.
- We use resources sustainably -
Little Earth Montessori preschools aim to minimise their impact on the local and global environment; conserving water, using ecologically sound materials, reducing overall resource consumption, reusing as many resources as possible, and recycling or rotting the rest.
- We create a green and healthy place -
Little Earth Montessori preschools naturalised outdoor environments are integrated with he indoor classrooms. Local elements will create a living landscape, with natural discovery spaces, an organic garden and spaces set aside for the development of natural habitats. Children plant the gardens and raise, harvest and eat the crops, learning about nutrition and natural science.
- We teach, learn and engage -
At Little Earth Montessori preschools, environmental education is a central element of the learning programme, helping children to understand and appreciate the natural world around them and to foster critical thinking and environmental stewardship. Children learn about ecological sustainability, environmental health, nutrition, personal responsibility, and leadership through hands–on experiences.
